I have always loved Bananas Foster. I've found French vanilla works even better than the regular stuff, but either way, it is great.
There's a flambe (I have no idea how to get that accent mark over that "e") version of this that is both delicious and entertaining (if you like and can control fire). I'll try & post that version when I come across a good one.

I was talking about B.Fosters a while back with my sister. It was one of the first things we saw the teachers do when I was in my Culinary Arts classes. Wonderful stuff. Rum and Kaluha mixed in, then lit. Good times.

Place zucchini in a sieve set over a bowl, salt well, toss to coat, and set aside to let drain, at least 5 minutes.

When ready to cook, oil 1 piece of aluminum foil on 1 side. Sprinkle 1/4 cup cheese in the middle of the foil to form a rectangle, shingle 1/4 of the zucchini over cheese (about 3 rows of 8 zucchini coins). Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the shallots and 1 teaspoon of garlic evenly over top, and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Top with another 1/4 cup cheese, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour, and top with 4 sprigs of thyme. Enclose foil tightly to form a packet and repeat to make 4 packets.

Place the packets on the grill and cook until zucchini is soft and cooked through, turning once, about 10 minutes total.

Wash Chicken inside and out. Mix all the rub ingredients well. Place 2 tablespoons of rub inside bird and shake to distribute rub. Rub the outside with more of the seasoning. Let stand 1 hour. Place charcoal on sides of grill and a drip pan made of foil down the middle. When coals are hot place chicken in middle of grill. Cover and leave for 1 hour and 15 min. Try not to open grill often becasue this lets the heat out and increases the cook time . Open vents on grill to maximum for highest heat. Test chicken in the middle of breast. I like to take the chicken off the grill when it reaches 175 and cover with foil for 15 min. The chicken will continue to cook and will reach 185 which is considered done during the rest time. This prevents the breast meat from drying out.

like i said elsewhere - when you mix this up, it will seem like there isn't enough batter to make a cake, it looks like chopped apples with just a little smear of batter around. just get the batter more or less evenly distributed, and you will be amazed at how much cake you have when it comes out of the oven._________________aka: neverscared!
